This project will help 100 women street vendors in Mwanza, Tanzania, recover their lost income and rebuild their small businesses through business recovery grants, entrepreneurship training, and essential working tools, improving their families' livelihoods and resilience.
In Mwanza, many women vendors lost their working capital, goods, and daily income due to post-election disruptions and rising living costs. These women, who were the main supporters of their families, are now struggling to rebuild their small businesses and provide food, rent, and education for their children. Without recovery support, their livelihoods and confidence continue to deteriorate.
This project will help 150 women vendors recover and rebuild their livelihoods through small business grants, entrepreneurship and financial literacy training, and provision of working tools. NESODO will also organize peer-support groups and connect beneficiaries to local markets and cooperatives to strengthen business networks and ensure sustainable income.
Over time, the project will strengthen women's economic independence and resilience. At least 150 women vendors will regain stable income, benefiting more than 700 family members. The skills, savings culture, and networks developed through this initiative will sustain community-led growth and inspire other women to start and grow micro-enterprises across Mwanza and nearby regions.
